Apricot lobster (Cherax holthuisii)

                                                                                               This recently described species can vary n color from tans to a bright orange apricot color. Maximum adult size is about 4 inches. Although some hobbyists claim that they are sociable and can be kept in groups, our experience is that adults, even pairs, eventually tend to mutilate each other. You need to have shelters and visual barriers and keep them well fed. They are easy to breed once established. Selective breeding could lead to outrageous orange animals. Only seasonally available, usually late summer-early winter.
